Inside Out Themes

The film Inside Out tells the story of a young girl named Riley and her changing emotions after she is forced to move from her home town in Minnesota to San Fransico for her father’s job. The story is told from the perspective of her five emotions. Riley’s emotions are led by Joy, who attempts to guide her through the stressful event. Although Joy puts forth great effort, Sadness takes over. When trying to protect Riley’s core memories from Sadness, Joy is swept from headquarters through the dump tube and Sadness follows. With Joy and Sadness gone, Anger, Fear, and Disgust are the only emotions left in headquarters; therefore, Riley cannot be happy or sad. Because Joy and Sadness are absent, Riley’s personality islands diminish one by one. Riley fights with her family, pushes away from her friends back home, and loses interest in hockey. As Joy and Sadness navigate through Riley’s brain in search of a way back to headquarters, they encounter many obsticles. Back in headquarters, Anger, Fear, and Disgust place the idea of running away into Riley’s head. Joy witnesses the transformation of a sad memory into a happy memory, and finally realizes the importance of all emotions, including Sadness. With the help of Bing Bong, Riley’s imaginary friend, Joy and Sadness find their way back to headquarters and are able to stop Riley from running away. An update in headquarters takes place, and more personality islands develop. Joy learns to accept the

The life of a poet is often a quiet one. From being left isolated by mental and physical illness, to being struck by life-changing tragedy, Christina Rossetti channels her intense emotions through writing. Often creating poetry was her one true release, as most of the time her depression caused her to be unhealthily apathetic. The less interested she became in the world around her, the more intense poetry she would write. With her sentences, she paints scenes that should be beautiful and distorts them, emphasizing the fact that everything can have a negative side. Rossetti, a nineteenth-century English poet, creates an incongruity in her work by comparing the beauty of seasons, flowers, and animals to the burden of her depression.

about Riley how is trying to adapt to her new environment in San Francisco. This transition causes her behaviour to change. In the film, Inside Out, it discusses the socio-cultural principles that influences Riley's behaviour.

It is a rarity that I will change my mind regarding a movie, but this is one of those times. Disney/Pixar’s “Inside Out” was not only entertaining, but challenged the way that I look at emotions. It’s the kind of film that will stay with you even after you’ve left the theatre, and in doing so will spark you to recall memories from your own childhood. It avoids clichés that most animated films fall into, which makes it feel completely new and refreshing. The material is also accessible to everyone given its main content. Young Riley, our 11 year old heroine, is uprooted from her happy life in the Midwest to the bustling city of San Francisco. Her father has taken a new job, and must relocate the family. Riley, like most everyone, is guided specifically by her emotions which take place in the “control center” of her mind. Riley and her emotions, Joy, Fear, Anger, Disgust, and Sadness struggle to navigate through a new home, new school, and new friends. The conflict comes when Sadness wants to play a bigger role in Riley’s life, but is constantly pushed to the side by Joy. Joy, voiced perfectly by the very talented Amy Poehler, is a yellow, almost fairy-like character reminiscent of a more mature Tinkerbell. Sadness (Phyllis Smith) is recessive, soft-spoken, and, as one would imagine, blue. Fear is voiced by the extremely versatile actor, Bill Hader. He is a lanky, purple, almost bug-eyed character whose body could almost be described as a question mark. Fear, of course, tends

To the viewer, this work does not appear vivid or aggressively bold, for Marin’s use of gray and black hues compose the majority of the background and bridge foreground. However, even though the most dominate color is gray, it is not the first noticed by the viewer, for the small sized, vivid hues in the near center background of the painting initially capture the eye. The four intense colors of blue, yellow, purple, and red pop against the monotone city and structural surroundings. These colors instantly give the painting a rush of energy, standing out in the work and drawing the attention of the eye. The darker, black colors of the foreground bridge is proportionately balanced by the brighter colors in the background, contributing to a feel of color balance and evenness. All of the colors are also very saturated and deep, for none are too “light” or unable to be seen, except for a few gray tones, helping to achieve dimensionality and variation. Considering that Marin’s work is overwhelmingly dominated by cool hues, the audience could infer that this painting would possess a soothing, calm feeling, which opposes the thesis analysis. Conversely, through the small use and implementation of these four vivid hues, the feeling of this work is changed in its entirety. Instead of a serene “cool” feel, the painting emits a blast of speed and energy,

Pixar’s Inside Out is an interesting take on how our emotions work as well as how our brains operate. The story starts off with a narration by Joy, voiced by Amy Poehler, explaining how her job works, and how she and the other emotions came to be inside the mind of young Riley Anderson. The emotions watch and guide Riley by influencing how she reacts to different daily situations. The only thing the emotions are not prepared for however, is an unexpected move from Minnesota to San Francisco (Inside Out). This hilarious take at how our brains work allows Inside Out to create an entertaining and engaging movie using character interaction and its deeper emotional and psychological meanings.

Had I watched this Inside Out at different points over the semester, I would have been able to find different flaws each time. This movie is supposed to be about Riley, but it turns out to be centered around the journey that Joy and Sadness must take in order to return to headquarters, more specifically, it validates sadness as an emotion. Sadness spent her first eleven years with Riley being told to stay back and not to screw anything up, in reality, sadness is often frowned upon, because for some people, they are the opposite of Riley’s character. This movie shows that the happiest of children can go through life changing struggles and embrace their other emotions. You cannot appreciate being happy unless you have known being sad, this movie brings attention to the necessity of a balance in life.

The Theme of Loneliness in Per Peterson’s book “Out Stealing Horses” At first glance, Per Peterson’s book “Out Stealing Horses” is a story of coming of age, memories of happy times, and of the war and the way it affected life in Norway. The protagonist, Trond, is an old man who has just retired in the country and an unexpected meeting with a childhood friend triggers his memories of the time when he was fifteen years old. Told from the perspective of sixty-seven-year-old Trond, the story is a combination of memories of the past and events of the present, which are contrasted in order to reveal some of the major themes in the book. The author skillfully introduces the theme of loneliness throughout the book by contrasting the resignation and

As a poet, Rossetti uses her choice and form of words as a way of conveying her initial feelings towards death.

Rossetti’s use of symbolism elaborates on the restriction and lack of freedom women possess. The three women are categorized into their labels and are structured in the poem one after the other. The symbolism of colours is exemplified in the descriptions of the three women; the colours presented are red, blue, and white. The symbolism of red and blue possess an opposition in meaning: Red symbolizes passion, lust and love, whereas blue signifies sadness and despair. One woman is labelled as promiscuous with

With the help of her mother, encouraging creativity and productiveness, she quickly learned her purpose in life. In Rossetti’s poem, this is evident because of the unique style she used. During her time, the young writer was presumed as beautiful and attractive. This was made clear in the poem because she addresses her lover who might be deeply wounded with emotion once she leaves this world.

Rossetti displays what is important to her through her humble plea in “Song’. In the poem, she is neither depressed, nor joyful; she simply states what she believes. She believes that memorials and placing flowers on graves are not for the ones who are deceased, but for those they leave behind. She asks them not to show her any special attention, she will be dead and in death, one cannot feel, hear, speak, or think; therefore she will not be able to acknowledge their gestures. Her lack of sympathy towards her loved ones shows her detachment to material items as she rejects the love she will receive at the time of her death. Keeping the memory of a lost loved one is a way for the living to keep the deceased alive. When thinking of death, most are afraid that no one

The film Inside Out (2015) produced and directed by Pixar Animation Studios and Walt Disney Pictures, is a movie based on the emotions of a 11-year-old girl called Riley. The film’s principal characters are five emotions located in Riley’s brain. These emotions are Joy, Sadness, Disgust, Fear, and Anger. All of them work together inside Riley’s mind to accomplish one goal: Her Happiness. Everything revolves around Riley because she is facing a hard move with her family from Minnesota to San Francisco, leading to big changes around his life, attitude, and behavior. Most of the movie is set inside Riley’s mind, where the emotions operate her brain’s control center. The film explains that our brain has functions that control our responses to certain situations, and the ways that we handle these situations are controlled by our emotions. Also, it explains that our personalities and identities are defined by certain emotions, which shape how we handle and express to specific situations. The decisions and actions that the emotions choose to do in Riley’s life will drive the plot. Inside Out (2015) will not only explain through its colors, lighting, and camera shots the storyline of the movie, but also the importance of emotions and how they play a big role in our lives.

The orderly structure of four verses per stanza and eight syllables for most verses in The Woodspurge, gives the reader a dull feeling as it is consistent. The rhyme at the end of each verse also gives a monotonous atmosphere and shows the thought Rossetti wants to convey, stages of grief, something that one won’t necessarily want to pay attention to, something that makes people mournful.

The subject of this artwork is the scene from the emotionally autobiographical work of Dante Alighieri “La Vita Nuova”, at the moment of Beatrice Portinari’s death, who the author loved deeply. Rossetti depicts the moment of Beatrice’s death on her parents’ balcony in 1290, however, for the artist this scene means much more, than just a visual interpretation of a scene from a book.
